Staying Apart, Together: Happy first day of fall, such as it is

Selling your home is a big decision at the best of times. However, this year, with all its turbulence and uncertainty, many homeowners are understandably nervous about the process. Most of that anxiety is simply the result of not having the information you need. If you’re thinking of selling for example, you might be wondering: How does it work these days? How do buyers see my home? How long will my property take to sell? How much will it likely sell for?... The more good information you have, the less nervous you’ll be. In fact, when you have all your questions answered and you know what to expect, you might even feel enthusiastic about moving forward with your plans to list. So, don’t let unanswered questions hold you back from selling your home. Give me a call. I’d be happy to fill you in on what’s happening in the local market, answer your questions, and give you the advice you need.

Dealing with Unsightly Flooring Issues when Selling When you’re selling your home, you want it to look its best. You want buyers who view it to say, Wow, I love this place! However, what if you have a stubborn stain in the carpet, or a cracked floor tile? An unsightly issue like that can be distracting in your otherwise beautiful property. You have a few options.... First, try to get the issue fixed. There are specialty cleaners on the market designed to lift even the most stubborn carpet stains. The same goes for hardwood and tile. A flooring contractor might be able to find a matching piece and then replace the damaged section. Contractors also know other tricks-of-the-trade to repair damaged flooring or, at least,minimize the damage. For example, there are fillers and stains available that can make a crack or chip in a hardwood plank look almost invisible. Home staging can also make damaged flooring less of a focal point in the room. An effective arrangement of furniture, area rugs, and other items puts more of the focus on the overall decor and less on that carpet stain. In addition, making other more affordable improvements, such as painting, can have a compensatory effect. A buyer may notice the chipped hardwood,but will also notice the walls, which look like new.
